Abstract

India’s vast maritime domain offers immense potential for economic growth, ecological sustainability, and social development through the Blue Economy. This paper explores the scope, need, sectoral progress, and challenges of the Blue Economy in India. A thorough literature review highlights both global and national perspectives. Drawing on secondary data and national reports, the study presents key findings on marine fisheries, renewable energy, coastal infrastructure and governance. It concludes with actionable policy suggestions for building an inclusive, climate-resilient, and innovation-driven maritime economy. The analysis underscores the strategic importance of integrating coastal community livelihoods, marine spatial planning, and ecosystem-based management into national development agendas. By aligning with SDG 14 and leveraging India’s geopolitical maritime advantage, the Blue Economy can drive long-term sustainability, regional cooperation, and blue growth leadership.
